What is a science of geophysics? A basic understanding of geophysical sciences.

Geophysics is a part of earth science that studies the Earth using rules or principles of physics. This includes also meteorology, atmospheric electricity and ionospheric physics. Geophysical studies to determine the condition under the earth's surface involves measurements above the earth's surface of physical parameters which are owned by the rocks in the earth. From these measurements can be interpreted how the properties and conditions under the earth's surface either vertically or horizontally.
In a different scale, geophysical methods can be applied globally to determine the structure of the earth, namely locally for mineral exploration and mining, including petroleum and in scale, the small-for geotechnical applications (determination of building foundations, etc.).
Geophysical sciences field of study include meteorology (air), solid earth geophysics and oceanography (sea). Some examples of studies of solid earth geophysics such as seismologists who study earthquakes, the science of volcanoes (Volcano) or volcanology, geodinamika who studied the dynamics of movement of the plates in the earth, and seismic exploration used in the search for hydrocarbons.
